First-aid measures

General advice: Seek medical advice.

If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately.

Inhalation:Move to fresh air.If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately.

Skin contact:Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water.Immediately remove contaminated clothing, and any extraneous chemical, if possible to do so without delay.

Flush immediately with copious amounts of water.

Initiate and maintain continuous irrigation until the patient receives medical care. If medical care is not promptly available, continue to irrigate for one hour. Cover wound with sterile dressing.

Eye contact:Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.Hold eyelids apart, initiate and maintain gentle and continuous irrigation until the patient receives medical care. If medical care is not promptly available, continue to irrigate for one hour.

Ingestion:Prevent aspiration of vomit. Turn victim's head to the side.Do not induce vomiting without medical advice.

If a person vomits when lying on his back, place him in the recovery position.

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

May generate toxic nitrogen oxide gases.

Burning produces noxious and toxic fumes.

Downwind personnel must be evacuated.

Advice for firefighters

Use personal protective equipment.

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

Avoid contact with skin.

A face shield should be worn.

Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.

Use self-contained breathing apparatus and chemically protective clothing.

Environmental precautions

Construct a dike to prevent spreading.

Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Do not allow spill to enter into sewers or waterways.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Place in appropriate chemical waste container.Call Emergency Response number for advice.

Approach suspected leak areas with caution.

If possible, stop flow of product.

Open enclosed spaces to outside atmosphere.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling:

Use personal protective equipment.

Use only in well-ventilated areas.

Avoid breathing vapors and/or aerosols.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls:

Provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers.

Provide natural or explosion-proof ventilation adequate to ensure concentrations are kept below exposure limits.

Eye protection:

Full face shield with goggles underneath.

Chemical resistant goggles must be worn.

Hand protection:

Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.

butyl-rubber

Nitrile rubber

Neoprene gloves

Impervious gloves

PVC disposable gloves

Body Protection:

No specific recommendation.Impervious clothing
